[...] This may well be a wee bit extreme for most of us but there are less radical measures you can take to get back in touch with your creative side, balance your life and possibly become a little greener. Back in December the Carsonified team took a step back from their computers and took a week out to do something creative (idea week). They came up with the fabulous hugmymac.com, they made fabric cases (hugs) for Mac Books and iPhones â€“ the results were pretty impressive and I think they even surprised themselves. [...]

It’s a very nice idea and I think that the site is looking great.

Such a great idea! How much would it cost to swindle it so I get the ‘framed’ hug? : D

As mentioned before: a great piece of teambuilding wich can be very inspiring. I enjoyed reading all about it a lot!

Guess I’ve got to get myself a MBK first before I can apply for a hug though (and iPhone’s not yet for sale here in Holland) ;)

Hi guys,

This is one of the best examples of team building that I’ve seen – as inspiring as a great Carsonified conference.

I gotta say, this is not typical Carson Quality. It doesn’t follow a few of your basic rules–especially like getting to the point. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out what the hell this site was about–too much clutter, and wayyyyyyyy too much hype.

Don’t you think you all deserve hugs too?

Submitted my MacBook’s ‘Request?’ for a hug. Just have to say, I think its a very original idea. Look forward to seeing some more original sites by you and your team soon (Well when you have recovered).

Good luck with it.

Andrew.
